Making Kayfabe
Making Kayfabe are two published writers, venomously angry at the wrestling world, who set out to analyse and re-book a plethora of it’s biggest mistakes. Bryce & Dylan zero-in on undeniable failures such as Kurt Angle‘s Retirement, Mr. McMahon’s Limo Explosion, AEW Women’s Division, the NWO in WWF, John Cena‘s Heel Turn, and much more, with the goal to rewrite them in a satisfying way that MAKES SENSE. The show features comedy, painstaking research into the subject matter, but most of all it features sensible resolutions to some of the most blatant ball-drops in history. Every episode is self-contained, too, so you don’t have to listen to them “in order.” Re-book wrestling history with Making Kayfabe every Tuesday!

KATIE VICK!
Golly, we never believed that we'd actually do this... but we did.  It's Katie Vick. You all probably know Katie Vick. You all probably don't want to know Katie Vick. It's a storyline that is beyond infamous and, as we found out, a massive uphill battle when it comes to booking.  But we gave it a bloody good go, so sit back, relax, and enjoy our take on one of WWE's worst storylines of all time.   00:03:05 - Catch up all things Katie Vick 00:29:48 - The Fantasy Booking 01:10:22 - Kayfabe Tombola 01:21:38 - Outro   WANT TO SUPPORT MAKING KAYFABE?

The Mad King Reigns Supreme
This week, Dylan dives into an Eddie Kingston booking, and shows how AEW could use this ultra-popular wrestler more effectively.  It's damn-near undoubtable these days that Eddie Kingston can talk interest into ANY storyline - so how would he fare going up against some of AEW's absolute best?   00:08:06 - Catch up on Eddie Kingston in AEW 00:17:42 - The Fantasy Booking 00:48:41 - Kayfabe Tombola 01:01:17 - Outro   WANT TO SUPPORT MAKING KAYFABE?

Either Nexus or Against Us
The Nexus storyline is arguably one of the most interesting of the 2010s. Seven relatively unknown superstars taking over WWE. It was something fresh, something engaging... and something that was completely killed with a little help from terrible booking. On this episode, we'll take a look at what Wade Barrett and his Nexus could have achieved by removing one key superstar from the situation. It's time to find out what it truly means to be "either Nexus or against us."   00:06:23 - Catch up on the Nexus storyline 00:23:35 - The Fantasy Booking 01:25:14 - Kayfabe Tombola 01:35:59 - Outro   WANT TO SUPPORT MAKING KAYFABE?

The Same Paige
Paige was undoubtedly a big part of the "women's revolution," but unfortunately, her potentially legendary career was cut short with a brutal neck injury. In the current day, rumours are running rampant that she may return to wrestling after having some recovery time, so this week, we imagine how that could possibly go.   00:08:06 - Catch up on Paige's career 00:21:05 - The Fantasy Booking 00:47:11 - Kayfabe Tombola 01:00:57 - Outro   WANT TO SUPPORT MAKING KAYFABE?

When Foley Met Ambrose
In 2012, a pre-Shield Dean Ambrose confronted Mick Foley on camera at a Wrestlemania Axxess event. The feud never went beyond that confrontation... but what if it did? This one has been coming for a long time. When we first came up with the Making Kayfabe podcast, we had 10 episodes each in mind. "Mick Foley vs Dean Ambrose" was on Bryce's, and after reading Moxley's autobiography, he's finally written it! This is also a first time appearance on the podcast for Mick Foley. We've wanted to fit Foley in for a while and we hope this does him justice.   00:07:20 - Catch up on the Foley/Ambrose feud 00:17:49 - The Fantasy Booking 01:05:19 - Kayfabe Tombola 01:17:24 - Outro   WANT TO SUPPORT MAKING KAYFABE?

Cody Plays a Dangerous Game
ADRENALINE, IN MY SOUL, TWO STRAIGHT WEEKS OF CODY RHODES.  This is an idea we had a while before Season 6. We wanted to each book the same guy, and almost have a "duel" with our stories to see how different they turned out to be. It turns out, they became VERY different, but both completely awesome. Dylan has booked a fantastic run for Cody Rhodes in the WWE here and I'm positive that you are are going to love it.    00:06:53 - Catch up on Cody Rhodes in the WWE 00:15:30 - The Fantasy Booking 00:50:51 - Kayfabe Tombola 01:00:00 - Outro   WANT TO SUPPORT MAKING KAYFABE?
